Arkansas’ Sam Pittman’s 3 funniest moments of SEC media days

Sam Pittman has a way with words, and it was on display during Arkansas’ Wednesday session in Nashville at SEC media days.

Here are three of the funnier exchanges the Arkansas coach had with the media:

1. More beer talk

It was pointed out that he “famously said” coming off the field after a Razorback win over Cincinnati, “I’m going to go home and have me a cold beer.”

The question: Would that ever include a Hamm’s beer?

“Go Hogs,” Pittman said. “I like an old Hamm beer, but you burp a lot afterward. You seem like you got a good job, man. Step it up a little bit.”

For those wondering, Hamm’s is a beer first brewed in Minnesota in 1865.

2. Taste in music

Pittman shared an interesting story about his short-lived music career.

“I was on stage singing ‘Hot Blooded’ with Foreigner last week,” he said. “They shut my mic off. They must have been afraid I’d take their job. I have a job.”

3. Time is tight

Pittman joined the set of “SEC Now” on the SEC Network after meeting with the media. He pointed out how busy college football is in the offense, citing recruiting and the transfer portal among other things.

“I swore I was going to get two things done before, get a haircut and lose weight,” Pittman said. “I didn’t do either one of those things.”
